But in the following year, it was time for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to form an alliance. At this time, Liu Bei was asked to return to Jingzhou. Hearing this news, Liu Bei must be unwilling. After all, this is the result of his own efforts. I absolutely don't want me to go back in time. Is this not a joke? Just as the two sides were arguing about going to war, Cao Cao led the troops to capture Hanzhong. But for such a thing, Liu Bei was definitely unwilling, so he led troops to capture Hanzhong. After three years of hard struggle, Cao Cao finally led the troops out of Hanzhong, but what's the use of Liu Bei capturing Hanzhong?
This is the way to see Liu Bei never worry about food and grass during the war years. But why did Zhuge Liang have food and grass when he was fighting? For example, Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, and each time he had to retreat because of lack of food and grass, which led to the failure of the northern expedition. At that time, after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang also rested for five years and won Meng Huo. So it seems that there should be no shortage of food and grass.
In fact, Hanzhong has always been Zhuge Liang's base for his Northern Expedition. After the people in Hanzhong were taken away by Cao Cao, the economy here has never been up, and there are not enough resources to replenish soldiers. If it takes a long time to transport grain and grass from Chengdu, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the loss is great. Many people may ask, then why not take water? This is more convenient and faster? In fact, natural disasters were very serious at that time.
There was an earthquake near Hanzhong, which changed the direction of the river, so Zhuge Liang had to go by land, and there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing this, do you know why Zhuge Liang was always in urgent need of food during the war? I wonder what you think of such a thing.
